How to Configure Your Homepage
This article provides the ins and outs of creating and customizing your site homepage. Homepages are landing pages for visitors to your site and are managed from Pages.
Choosing Your Homepage
How to Set an Existing Page as a Homepage
A default homepage is given when a new site is created. Unless specifically changed, this will be the landing page for all visitors to your site before they sign in.
Any pages that have been added can be set as the homepage for the site at any time. Once this change has been made, all visitors will be presented with the new homepage upon signing in.
To update the homepage of the site:
- Go to Settings
- Go to Pages
- Select the Public Portal tab
- Select the page you would like to dedicate as your homepage from the dropdown menu within the Site Homepage section
- Select Save
Redirecting to a Program's Homepage
If the homepage of a program should be used instead of a default page or a page within the Public Portal, you can do so with the following instructions.
- Go to Settings
- Go to Pages
- Select the Public Portal tab
- Select Redirect homepage to a specific program
- Select the title of one of your Programs to use the program's homepage
- Click Save
Customizing Your Homepage
Adding/Editing Homepage Content
